University subcommittee agrees to publicly expose research sponsors who donate funds
By Sigal Rose Kletzky

The university's Subcommittee on Classified and Proprietary Research debated the question of identification of research sponsors on Monday and raised the issue of who can be hired to work on university projects.
Reaching a general consensus, the subcommittee members
agreed that all sponsors who donate funds for university research should be publicly exposed.
Moreover, if a private investigator employed by the university discovered unacceptable individuals are indirectly funding a research project, the investigator would direct this information to the committee.
Because the future of the re-
search may be threatened when a questionable sponsor is suddenly disclosed, the subcommittee stressed the importance of referring the individual matter to the parent committee, the university research committee.

Hazing violations has been noted as the cause for the Delta Delta Delta sorority being suspended for 60 days.
Tri-Delta gets sixty days
Sorority suspended for illegal street painting

Hazing violations have led to a 60-day suspension of the Delta Delta Delta sorority here, after the national sorority and the university learned that active members of the sorority were encouraging their pledges to illegally paint the sidewalk and street in front of their house on the Row.
The suspension was triggered by recent reports of street painting at the Delta Delta Delta house which took place on the night of Februr-ary 25.
The incidents included pledges and actives painting on 28th Street in the middle of the night in a pledge activity, according to an information release from the Greek Affairs Office.
Several members present during the activity knew that painting the street was illegal, but they still encouraged the street painting and even supplied the paint for the pledge activity, the statement said.
Some Delta Delta Delta pledges did not return to the chapter house until 2:30 to 3:00 a.m., and hazing charges were leveled against the sorority partly because their pledges carried out the activity at such a late hour, the release said.
The suspension began on March 4 and will end May 2, after which the sorority will be placed on probation until May 1987.
Because it is the sorority's first hazing offense, the minimum sanction of a 60-day suspension was imposed, which means that during the 60-day period the sorority will be prohibited from engaging in social or athletic activities on campus and the Row.
The year-long probation means, in essence, that the sorority will be “watched closely" during that time, said Cheri Lall, assistant coordinator of Fraternity and Sorority Life at the Greek Affairs Office here.
Street painting on the Row has been an issue on campus ever since two sororities were cited for vandalism in early Februarv for street and sidewalk painting. A non-university student was injured last month when her car collided with four parked automobiles after skidding on a street mural in front of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
Although it has been established that street and sidewalk painting is illegal — perpetrators are charged with vandalism for defacing public property — painting on the Row has continued.
Efforts are being made, however, by the Interfraternitv Council, Panhellenic and the Greek Affairs Office to end the hazardous tradition.
Lall said that these campus departments are trying to pool an effort by all of the houses on the Row to sandblast the entire street.
The Delta Delta Delta and Kappa Kappa Gamma sororities already plan to sandblast the sidewalks and streets in front of their respective houses, according to Laura Donges, president of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.
Palm Springs terrorized by students during break

Spring Break activities got out of hand in Palm Springs last weekend, and several university students present complained about the inefficiency with which the Palm Springs police handled the situation.
According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, vacationing college and high school students swarmed in the streets of downtown Palm Springs, tearing off women's clothing, showering policemen with bottles and rocks and generally terrorizing the nearby population. Four hundred fifty arrests were made for public drunkenness, assault and battery, malicious vandalism and curfew violations, the Times article stated.
While there were apparently no arrests made of university students, some students complained of police brutality. Tim Dinkel, a senior majoring in business, arrived in Palm Springs at 11 a.m. Friday, when things were still "relatively calm".
"I was with two of my friends," Dinkel said. "We were walking to dinner at about 6 p.m. when we came across a large group of cops blocking our paths. We asked them if we could go through. One said Try it
Dinkel claims that when he and his friends attempted to leave, the police officers charged at them and hit Dinkel in the legs with a cattle prod.
"My next recollection was being face dowrn on the ground. My lip was bleeding and they (the police) were tying mv hands with a zip lock," Dinkel said.
He was then brought to a holding cell, but he was not formally booked.
According to Dinkel, "I kept telling them that I wanted to see a doctor. They just ignored me. I was in a cell with about 15 to 20 people who also had no idea why they were there. After a while, a guy came in and started taking dowTt names. I told him I wanted to see a doctor, and they finally called a paramedic, who said that I needed to see a doctor. Then they let me out. They did not take me to the hospital."
According to Dinkel, another man in his cell told him that he had
